    so hard to get bismarck ex done now. Most pf groups cant get past the chitin on the first phase. those that do, either the tanks flounder on the snakes or the dps isnt there for the last phase / someone falls off. And of course the real killer is that someone always 'has to go' after about 30...

    Archeage

    It would take a full pvp server with a separate economic 'group' so all the stupid dupes and sploits of the past aren't relevant, and also, no cash shop for anything but cosmetic items. But I know that's not happening

    There were a ton of people in the 53-59 range in churning mists, and 2 solid groups of 57-59 in hinterlands. The nice thing about both zones is the sheer number of boss target fates, which have very low health the first few times around and did fast. But yea it got slower as time went by. I did...

    So churning mists and hinterlands seem to be the new hotspots for fates on my server. Are people moved out of Nthan in others ?

    The one nice thing about the old way is you always knew what zone to go for fate xp. Since good fate xp is all about that critical mass of players so you are killing at a quick pace. Hope people flock to one zone rather than thin out the population doin em. Will the expert dungeons reward...

    Friend started a designer baby clothes website

    Hey guys just thought some of you may be interested in this if you have little boys. It's basically like little grown up outfits for kids. Kinda fun stuff maybe for picture day etc. And before you ask, no it's not a troll site, it's actually real! Www.bokubaby.com

    Reserve a spot in hell for this guy

    Something is fishy here. In order for him to perpetuate this fraud there must have been some 'proof' of the cancer in the medical record. Biopsies, lab results .. if those were done and negative then there's no way he could have gotten away with treating for so long, someone would have noticed...

    Yea I've been trying to level my whm up fast now that my pally is 60. But I don't think I can keep this pace up for sch, it's just too painful. Not sure why I decided to save sch for last since that's my main - I think I had some strategy where by then everyone would have the extremes and...

    Yea leveling alt classes is driving me nuts when I try to do it quickly. Can only run the same dungeon so many times in a row, and goddamn does it get painful once you lose rest xp. Then mixing in N than fates while waiting for duty to pop. Not ideal but don't see a better way. Wish there were...

    So I'm probably a few weeks out from being able to get all three of my desired classes to 60 plus fully decked out in law time gear. Is that going to put me too far behind or will I still find plenty of Bismarck / ravana ex groups and hopefully even squeeze into an alexander static? Classes -...

    Do male to female trannies go to a gynocologist?

    If you're going out of your way to not call someone by how they want, then you are being a dick - is it really that big a deal to you? Also, if you just go apeshit raging because someone doesn't refer to you the way you want, you're also a dick. People quickly forget there is a middle ground...

    Yea quest mechanics in this game are total garbage, just a never ending stream of 'kill x of mobs' and 'pick up clickie' with the occasional 'Kill mob then pick up clickie' thrown in. I don't mind though because its pretty obvious they didn't even try, and just put all their energy into the...

    I don't have any intention on reselling, but buying a 3 bed/2 bath house in the area i am looking, kind of puts me on the teetering edge of what I can afford if mortgage rates go up to,say 6% or higher. I won't be able to pay off the mortgage any time soon - which isn't an issue if I can lock a...

    Most things discussed on these forums I can't really talk about in public (discussing eq next or ffxiv expansion will get me confused looks) but everyone I speak to is endlessly entertained by Antarius and his red pill hijinx.

    I never got the impression that Jon spent much time effectively communicating to Thorne and the others what he saw at hardhome, he was so consumed by all he needed to do. That may have been his fatal mistake

    You keep pulling shit out like ucsf. First of all that housing allowance is a pittance for what rent costs in this city. Second of all it's ucsf all their residents get a fucking Mac laptop the first day for work. Take a look at that left column, that was my salary ,slightly less since it was a...

    There was someone else who said devs make more than docs over their lifetime. I didn't say that. I said its closer than people realize because of the backlog docs start out with. I also think its conceivable it could happen but I didn't say it was the norm. My only "point" with regards to...

    Your numbers are off. You seem to know a lot of exceptional scenarios. Residents don't make 75k. Fellows don't even make 75k. As a senior resident I made 55k, fellow 61k. You know fellows that make 105k and residents that make 75k. Go post that shit on medical forums anywhere if you don't...

    I have no idea what average salaries are for coders in sf. But I do know that there are tons of those corporate buses that take them from sf to Silicon Valley every day, just crammed full of em , they block my ass all the time. And they sure as shit aren't living in this city at 75k a year

    I think average to average docs do make more than devs. There's just mountains less stress and earlier pay days in comp sci, and arguably better lifetime salary when you compound savings from a younger age- but of course this varies depending on location, spending habits etc. anyhow I wasn't...

    Where are you pulling this 'base' from? Surveys and publicly provided information is highly inaccurate, and it's an extremely mobile target right now with the current healthcare reforms. There is no such thing as a 'base doctor salary'. Having said that, your average Gen practitioner makes...

    Didn't have my first paying job until I was 27(not counting working in the library in college for 10$/hr). Started at 41k. Then I made 42k, up to a whopping 51k when I was 33. How old were you when you got your 76k/yr?

    Plainly obvious I was referring to md medical schools, why even bring that up? We all go thru the same training in my md med school too - doesn't mean I don't know some terrible docs, and some that are way Better than me? What the fuck does it matter we went thru the same training or not? You...

    Some of the best doctors are I know , including one personally(who is vastly smarter than me) are DOs. In fact I think the do's that you do see in more advanced specialities , are generally superior to their md counterparts - and it makes sense, because it was much, much harder for them to get...

    I am butthurt, but not because someone is getting paid more than me. But because you are just flat out lying because its fun to be an Internet troll, or are posting some ridiculously exceptional salary (easily top 1% of year 1 salary offers in rads) and acting like that's the norm. It would...

    Medicine is vastly different in the past 5-10 years. Luxuriously wealthy millionaire docs, who mostly got that way from business savvy and not some inflated wage, were always an exception, but are now going the way of the dodo. But what's worse is the docs that were making good but not insane...

    It's very easy to lie on the Internet. I'm giving a huge benefit of the doubt here. People assuming docs are overpaid pisses me off enough as it is.

    First year out of fellowship making 500k+?? You'll have to be more specific, because I can't think of any specialty where that's the case.
